Off the top of my head:

1. First name David...right off to a good start so far

2. Something normal and not pretentious.

3. The great Jim Steinmeyer, also the creator of the Origami illusion and Modern Art illusion. Not to mention my favorite magic historian.

4. Steve Fearson, Don Wayne (Flying I think?), Jim Steinmeyer.

5. Got me there, but I'm sure whoever it was went on to be something more.

6. Merlin and The Magic Show

7. Criss Angel

8. Neither, he can speak quite eloquently judging from the TED videos and other interviews I've seen.

9. False

10. The alter ego of Max Maven. :P

11. Miss Shimada

12. True

13. Who Framed Roger's Rabbit. I still don't know how that hole gets wider.

14. Cheers! I was alive to watch that show...I feel old now.

15. Devo, Andrei, wait is this a trick question?

David Seth Kotkin

2. What was Criss Angel's birth name?
Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos, interesting fact, before he went as Criss Angel he went as just Angel in his band days.

3. Who created the method for David Copperfield's Statue of Liberty vanish?
Jim Steinmeyer, I'll have to check on the Don Wayne part :)

4. Name 3 creators of illusions that David Copperfield has used on his specials.

Possible answers include Morgan Strebbler and Murray Sawchuck

6. What was the name of Doug Hennings broadway show?
The magic Show
Merlin

David Copperfield, and Harry Blackstone Jr. and unless I'm mistaken I believe Ricky Jay and Criss Angel both played in New York but were technically considered off broadway

8. Is Teller deaf, or mute?
Teller is very eloquent and it is only a character choice not to speak. He gives wonderful lectures.

9. True or False Derren Brown, like all mentalists, hates sleight of hand magicians, kids performers and clowns.
Derren Brown lectured on this. He believes that all performers have their place including kids performers and clowns. He believes that these performers should take their acts seriously though. As far as sleight of hand goes he is very talented

Max Maven

11. Name one stage female magician.
Some answers may include Charlotte Pendragon, Jinger, Julie Eng, Melinda

12. True or Fales Steve Martin famously used to perform at the Magic Shop on Main Street USA in Disneyland as a demonstrator.
This is a trick question. Yes, he used to perform in Disneyland as a demonstrator but he didn't perform on Mainstreet. He actually performed in the shop in Fantasyland. It is no longer there though :/

13. What ride in Disneyland features a Jim Steinmeyer illusion?
Roger Rabbit, the growing and moving hole illusion

14. Name one sit com that Harry Anderson has appeared on as a recurring character.
Night Court and Cheers

Hey goatears, just a correction. The inspiration for David Copperfield's Statue of Liberty vanish came from Jim Steinmeyer, but the method and technique used to perform it was actually created by David and his team.
